GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Drive-in movies are returning to Grand Rapids and Lansing, as Celebration Cinema announced Thursday that it will be showing movies in the parking lots at two of its theaters.
Beginning Friday, movies will be shown at the Grand Rapids North theater and Saturday in the lot at Celebration Cinema in Lansing. The opening week’s movie will be “Black Panther,” but multiple films are set to follow, the theater said.
Celebration Cinema noted the Pop-Up Drive-In movies will cost $30 a car. Management says large shipping containers will be stacked on top of each other to form giant screens.
Emily Loeks, spokesperson for Celebration Cinema in a news release, “Drive In movies have been enormously popular this summer, with near sell-outs every weekend. Our community is hungry for opportunities to gather in a safe way. Outdoor movies are a memorable experience.”
Customers will be encouraged to pay their tickets in advance online.
